Album preview gig in Belper with James and friends

Enjoy an evening of original, contemporary, emotive, neo-classical music in Belper on January 2 courtesy of James Oldrini and friends.

The event, designed to be a relaxing night for those looking to take stock after the hectic Christmas and New Year period, takes place at the Number 28 community venue on Belper Market Place.

The event is in aid of Derbyshire-based charity Aquabox and will also serve as a taster for James Oldrini’s forthcoming album, Enlighten.

Pre-released limited edition signed CDs of the album will be available to buy on the night.

James will be joined by special guest Dave Sturt, who is famed for touring with psychedelic rockers Gong. The Belper musician has also composed and arranged music for TV and projects including Past Lives. He will be performing from his new solo album Dreams And Absurdities.

The popular local duo Sunflower Thieves are also on the bill, performing a set of popular covers in their trademark vocal harmonic style.

A special performance of their charity single Love Is - raising funds for Aquabox - will take place, with Dave and James also playing.

Entry is £5 on the door with all proceeds going to Aquabox.
